Cultural Tip
In French, the demonstrative "ça" is very common in spoken language and gives a casual tone. If you need a more formal register, replace "ça" with "cela" and "montre" with "prouve" or "indique". Also, note that the reflexive pronoun "m'" contracts before a vowel, so "m'intéresse" is the correct form; avoid "me intéresse" in spoken French.
